The Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Kidney Care Vegetable & Tuna Stew Canned Cat Food is clinically proven nutrition that can help transform your pet’s life. As pets age, damage to the kidney tissues may occur, which affects the kidney’s role to function properly and filter toxins and waste from the blood. It is irreversible, and will lead to further loss of kidney function. This may also decrease their appetite, which could eventually result in the loss of muscle mass. And so the Hill’s nutritionists and veterinarians created this special diet, which supports your cat’s kidney function and helps to sustain muscle mass—in fact, the nutrition of k/d is clinically tested to improve and lengthen the quality of life.
Key Benefits- Protects vital kidney and heart function with proven nutrition developed by nutritionists and veterinarians.
- Stimulates appetite and increases caloric intake, and supports the natural ability to build lean muscle daily.
- Made with controlled phosphorus and low sodium, plus therapeutic levels of l-carnitine and omega-3 fatty acids.
- Also includes high levels of essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein.
- Made in USA and clinically tested to improve and lengthen the quality of life.

So this was prescribed to my recently departed beloved feline companion who generally liked it. However, its low protein content (a necessity for chronic renal failure) caused another issue, either his low white cell count or increased level of albumen in his urine - go figure. Since it was tragically difficult to feed my two cats two different foods, I wish I would have just given them one they could both eat. It may have meant losing my beloved sooner, but OUR quality of life would have been (potentially) better, especially since I started letting him eat other cat food (Hill’s i/d with relatively low protein, as prescribed to my other cat) during the night as he grazed.

At 5 months old, after routine pre-spaying bloodwork, Lucy was diagnosed with kidney dysplasia (undeveloped kidneys in utero) and mid-stage renal failure. We have tried different prescription foods, and this is the one she will UNFAILINGLY eat. I mix it with Hills Chicken K/D because she will not eat the Chicken K/D plain. Lucy is now 2 years and 10 months old. With this Hills diet, we have managed to keep her kidney blood-values stable for more than 2 years, and she now weighs 15 lbs (Maine coon).

She loves it. I think it stinks. I would recommend it if your cat has a kidney issue. she does not like the hard food. we did not find out that she had an issue with her kidneys until we had a bad tooth pulled. so please get your cat tested if they are older than 10 years of age.

My nearly 18 y/o cat with Old Kitty Kidney Disease will not eat pate so I was encouraged by the stew. It took some getting used to and the vet tech suggested putting a spoon full of chicken stew next to a spoonful of tuna stew and that did the trick. He is eating A LOT. Yea.

I have purchased many of the renal diets here the other week and this is about the only one they show interest in. If you are new to renal diet I would suggest to start with this one or like me and many others you will have hundreds of dollars of food sitting that they will not eat. I wish chewy would sell a variety pack containing different varieties and brands. The struggle is real folks getting a kidney cat to eat and buying a case at a time of expensive food that does not get touched is a difficult pill to swallow.

Picky Kitty had to go on a prescription diet. What cat doesn't like tuna? MINE! I think I'm stuck with unopened cans because we can't order in singles. Bummer. She's tried the chicken in stew, seems to like it a little better. I'll have to buy a whole case just in the trying stages. Bummer again.

My cat seems to like it and I like the little cans because she won’t eat anything that’s left over. I have tried the chicken variety also but she seems to like the Tuna better

My cat, who has had other medicated food made by Hill's and was recently diagnosed with kidney disease, loves this food. She will eat the entire can at once if allowed. It's great to see that her appetite has come back and knowing she's getting the benefits of this quality food is a little bonus.

Our cat initially happily ate this for a few days but then stopped and just leaves it sitting in the bowl. It has been hard to find a renal diet that our cats likes to eat.

My cat needs to eat this Kidney Care food after she has been spoiled with Fancy Feast for a long time. For the prescription foods, she loves this one most.
